Guild Wars 2

So far I am impressed. It feels sufficiently different from the base form of ranger in the way that Reaper does from Necro and the skills look impressive if a bit too “wow” inspired.

However, I am a bit worried that the major focus on healing is going to bring us back to the days of GW1 where you could spend 30 mins to an hour looking for a healer for a group. It’s pretty clear that healing IS going to be a thing in HOT otherwise they would not have focused so much on it with this Elite.

While everything Zerk is a flawed mechanic, going back to the old days of waiting around for specific classes feels like a backstep. Hopefully it will not be quite so literal as it looks.

Well we have to keep in mind that Anet’s goal was to make sure that multiple professions can play many roles. They weren’t exactly trying to kill all healing focused archetypes but rather just make it so that anyone can fill the necessary role that is required.
